I Must See Mr. Ubba
Brigitta’s heart skipped. Was he about to have sex with her? She didn’t even have the strength to object or protest, she quickly laid on the bed then immediately spoke in a frightful voice, “please, I know we are husband and wife but I’m not ready for this.”
Ragnar’s Marshall’s face darkened than it already was, “you are my wife in papers alone. In reality, you are my property, my object. I can do whatever I want with you and you. can. not. oppose.”
Brigitta’s heart freezed. It was as if the little hope she had was smashed. If he didn’t even see her as a wife, was she not in a big trouble that way?
“Will you kill me, sir?” She quickly asked. She didn’t know where the strength to ask came from but she wanted to know her fate. She wanted to know what he intends doing to her as soon as she can.
“If it’s necessary, I will.” He said meaningfully. There was no emotion at all in his voice, he looked like someone that meant every single word that came out of his mouth.
Her mind drifted straight to her babies. Her babies didn’t even have a father, if she dies, then her children would live the life of an orphan all their life. She must find a way to tell Nikolai as soon as possible about her present predicament. She can’t afford to die, not when she has five cute babies.
“Don’t see me as your husband and don’t ever regard me as one.” He said. “Call me ‘master’ from today henceforth.” Ragnar Marshall said. This was the name he and other slaves do call Miguel Marcola during his days in slavery. He was about recreating the excruciatingly painful moments Miguel Marcola made him go through on Brigitta.
He took steps away from the bed and all of a sudden the room turned into total darkness. Then she heard a shut of the door.
She immediately stood up from the bed but everywhere was in total darkness. Apparently, Ragnar Marshall had dissapeared from the room. She immediately stood from the bed and stood straight. She began to take steps forward hoping she will be able to reach the doorknob somehow. She had her hands moving around the air like a blind woman as a way not to avoid colliding on any object in the room.
She suddenly felt her hand touching the wall, she sighed and began to move across the wall hoping to find where the door is. At the end, she was able to find the knob of the door.
As soon as she twisted the knob of the door, a loud alarm rang that made her quickly retract her hand from the knob. With an heavily breathing heart, she took few steps back and waited for the next thing to happen. She was scared that Ragnar Marshall would barge inside in anger and punish her for trying to escape here. Would he kill her? An extreme fear of dieing under the cold hands of Ragnar Marshall overshadowed her that she had all her body shivering in fear.
Whereas, Nikolai had been extremely disturbed about Brigitta’s sudden dissapearance, he had called her line severally but there was no response and so, he was very troubled and disturbed. Brigitta’s kids had also been questioning Nikolai about the whereabout of their mother and he had been trying his best to calm the situation by telling the kids she made a quick travel to another country.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
But that didn’t stop the tension in the house from growing. The kids were all worried about their parents whereabout. Nikolai had reported to the police just a few hours ago and was waiting to get a positive feedback soon, nonetheless, he knew he had to do something himself.
Knowing that Brigitta was married to Ragnar Marshall, he felt like he needed to contact Ragnar Marshall, perhaps, he could know about her dissapearance. He was not naive to Ragnar Marshall’s brutality but he can’t just fold his hands and watch his bestfriend dissapear with no traces.
So instead of going to work today, he wrote to his office that he wouldn’t be able to come early today. Then he went to Wesson’s Cooperation. On meeting with the receptionist, he immediately demanded, “please, I urgently need to see Mr. Ubba.” Mr. Ubba was Ragnar’s stage name and only a few people knows about it. Brigitta had already told Nikolai everything she found out about Ragnar Marshall.
“Do you have an appointment with him?” The receptionist responded politely.
“Not at all but this is urgent. If you can place a call across to him, tell him Brigitta’s bestfriend wants to speak with him,” Nikolai said.
“I’m sorry but if you don’t have an appointment with Mr. Ubba, I can’t help you,” the receptionist said.
“Let’s go unofficial. I’ll give you this money if you can place a call across to him, I really need to see him, it’s a matter of life and death,” Nikolai brought a sum of dollar out.
“I guess you have no idea who Mr. Ubba is. He’s not someone I can just call. He’s the CEO, and I hope you know this company is by far the biggest in the country. I can’t risk getting fired” the receptionist said.
Nikolai became more troubled. He needs to see Ragnar Marshall today no matter what. “Can you call anyone closer to Ragnar Marshall and tell them it’s urgent?”
The receptionist thought about it and said, “well, his assistant, Mr. Ottar. But I can’t call him as well unless there is an appointment. There are rules here, Mr. I think you should take your leave now, I must attend to someone else.”
Just then, the door opened and a man walked in. The receptionist immediately stood and greeted, “good morning, Mr. Ottar.”
“Good morning.” Ottar responded and continue to walk towards the staircase that was just behind the receptionist office.
Mr. Ottar? Ubba’s receptionist? Nikolai processed the name quickly and walked up to him, “hey Mr. Please…”
Ottar turned to him and asked, “how can I help you?”
“I must see Mr. Ubba. It’s urgent.”
“I don’t know you,” Ottar said.
“Well, I’m Brigitta’s bestfriend. Brigitta is Mr. Ubba’s wife and she had been missing for days. Myself and her children that are with me are very worried. I have already reported her sudden dissapearance to the police but I still felt like Mr. Ubba may be willing to help,” Nikolai said.
Took a while before Ottar responded, “a few minutes.” Ottar took a few steps away from him after which he placed a call across to Ragnar.
Ottar walked back to Nikolai a few seconds later and said, “if you must see Mr. Ubba, you must come along with Brigitta’s kids. Just mention your name to the receptionist once the kids are with you and you will be granted the privilege to meet with Mr. Ubba.” Afterwards, Ottar climbed the stairs and faded out of his sight.
